RECALL? Workshop campaign?
- Thread starter fireblade
- Start date
So I assume it's common although I don't know why you've only been told now. Has anyone else had the same?

Yes, mine went back in June to have that done, which seem to be a quick simple software update & all has been fine since. I hadn't had any problems either, before in it went back.

Thanks, the delay shows the kind of service we get here. It took months to sort out my PCCB,s with the local OPC being "unaware " of the well reported problem!.
Cheers
when the service dept gets the car in?.
The recalls were -2 related to instrument cluster, as prev post does to seem to have some extra features but cannot remember tbo,
know I had to reset my preferences ie door locking, lights etc.
Check strap door trim, not a clue but was told it falls off.
And rather disturbing ,emergency fuel flap release cable/solenoid Guess you would not know if yours was u/s until you needed
the thing!.[8|]
You can check btw ,with drivers door open press locking on fob, pull release cable, its inside upper door piller level with flap, should
open flap.
Same emergency release pull as on the 997 - RTM![ORIGINAL: pwebb
Not a lot of people know that []
Thanks for that I will have to keep an eye on it.ORIGINAL: Nick_USA
You can check to see if there are any outstanding recalls on your car yourself:

Out here in the sticks we get told nothing!
I was at a Guernsey Region Club meeting yesterday and they fare even worse, as the local OPC just sends someone over "when required"
Such a shame as it is an improvement on my 997 Turbo gauge which required the engine to be warmed up to operating temp first which meant that unless you checked after last drive you could possible run the engine with insufficient oil.
This one worked from cold and was reassuring.
Before I take it back are there any other things that may now malfunction as a result of the update? My seat and comfort settings were all lost.
Thanks

I have had the software "update" and now the oil level graphic refuses to work at all, just says "no information available"

It may be that the upgrade to your car was applied incorrectly but mine has lost its memory settings several times but have had no upgrades. My OPC thought it might be a result of the usage pattern of the car and its effect on the battery. Apparently if the battery voltage drops below a threshold whilst the car is unused the car starts to shut down functions, some of which seem not to restart when the battery is charged by road use.
Your OPC is able to see a wide range of battery parameters including recharge count, stop/start events etc etc. I am not wholly convinced about the battery story on memory as my car is either being used or on a CTEK conditioner and the only oddity in my battery's history was that one of the event counters had not changed since it was last at the OPC 5 months ago.
I think there are several bugs lurking in the 9x1 ECU and other software and that Porsche still have some debugging to do.
I'll be interested what your OPC think the root cause is - some are good at being vague aren't they.

I am taking the car in briefly tomorrow to see if they need it for a longer period.
My OPC technician is very pleasant but I just don't think he is kept up to date on anything after the poor knowledge and recognition of my PCCB problems immediately after collection last year
The business about the battery is rubbish, my car is used daily but I have been away for up to 16 days and didn't use the CTEK (It was on my girlfriends 2006 MX5 still on the original battery unlike my 997 Turbo battery which gave up the ghost after 4 years!)
I will report back
Cheers
had no issues on oil messure system .tbo sounds as if it wants a second go at the software update.
My new turbo has all the updates done , and touch wood all is good inc oil[8D]

Unfortunately the site just says that my car was updated in February but does not list what was/should have been done.
All I received from the OPC was five sheets of paper listing five various problems but they are quite clearly just the front page of each problem whereas service no 9 for instance states to be
page 1 of 12.
Interestingly not one of the probable faults mentioned has affected my car although I have no way of knowing if the rear wheel steering has been affected
